Miriam (Mimi) Katz

My area of expertise is in paleoceanography and micropaleontology. Much of my work utilizes assemblage and geochemistry changes in the marine microfossil group benthic foraminifera, integrated with biostratigraphy, lithology, geophysical well logging, and seismic profile studies. I apply these integrated tools to a broad spectrum of reconstructions from the marine geological record, such as past ocean and climate conditions, paleocirculation, paleobathymetry and sea level, and the geological carbon cycle. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a graduate student in my research group.
